Abstract

In this chapter, we examine how universities measure the impact of their civic work. We present no typology of practice within the chapter, but we do observe the variability in levels of formal measurement, and the challenges that align with potentially competing university objectives. These challenges are particularly acute in considering the promotion and annual evaluation of professors, given the pressure to succeed in “traditional” metrics of academic success (e.g. peer reviewed publications, grants) while also affording them some opportunity and possibly incentive to engage in “non-traditional” civic or community-engaged work.
